ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2014 AND THEREAFTER - In this Feb. 27, 2014 photo, student Jalen Pickett, talks during a class that teaches anger management and conflict resolution skills at Cody High School in Detroit.

His fighting earned him a spot in the new police department program - the Children in Trauma Intervention Camp which gives students an alternative to expulsion in the form of training and counseling from police officers and other adult mentors. &quot;If Detroit can change, it's up to the youth to do it,&quot; Jalen says. &quot;I feel Detroit can come back. And if I do go away to college, I plan on coming back here and giving back to Detroit.&quot; (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
